United States Second Circuit


In re Literary Works in Elect. Databases Copyright Litig., 05-5943

In a consolidated class-action dispute involving a complaint for copyright infringements arising from defendant-publishers' unauthorized electronic reproduction of plaintiffs' written works, judgment of the district court is reversed where it abused its discretion in certifying the class and approving a settlement, because the named plaintiffs failed to adequately represent the interests of all class members.
